Mitchell and Shine. Ah 8 o’clock there was not anothen square inch of space within the four walls, and several hundred would-be spectators had to >go on back home. . . . "Hap” Atherton was the referee for all bouts, and the little pug was most satisfying as an official in one particular at least —he did not offer much obstruction to the vision of the ringsiders. In fact, Atherton was the smallest man in the ring during most of the bouts. Incidentally, the tiny official received a resounding smack in the map from one of the wildly swinging contestants. Frank Clark, 112-pound city amateur champ, met a Tartar in Harry Wick, and it was one of the fastest scraps of the evening, with the municipal titleholder showing a shade the best of it and gaining the judges’ decision. . . . Harry Boggs, who broadcast the fact that he is the “car barn champion’’ of the Indianapolis Street Railway forces, made good his boasts by winning over Glenn Griswell. They are 170pounders. . . . Yes, Plez Oliver was present and did some plain and fancy rooting. . . . Sidney Glick, Roy Wallace and other local ring notables looked on. . . . Veldon Dickinson, "copy boy” on a local newspaper, won by stepping around at a pace really surprising in a copy boy. . . . Another amateur carnival in two weeks, according to the announcer. . . . The proposed bout between Mike Mitchell and Billy Shine was canceled when Mitchell's physician refused to allow him to go on, asserting Mike was suffering from a bad case of halitosis. ... A South Side Turner amateur show was announced for April 14. (The above notes are Earl McKee’s, special sorrespondent of Stirrin’ the Dope.)

M 1 ARC/ POLO had nothing on Kid Chissel, former local boxer, when it comes \o traveling. We are in receipt f another letter from the Kid. He is now in Sabine, Texas. Yes, there is such a town. We looked It up. It is a Gulf of Mexico port right on the boundary line between Texas and Louisiana. The Sabine River and Lake Sabine form the boundary line between the two Southern States. Some time ago the Kid said he was headed for Australia, but he got side-tracked somewhere after cruising along the Pacific coast ports and presumably is headed back toward New York. For those who have not read previous chapters in Chissel’s travels, he is a member of the crew of the S. S. Herman Frasch. The Kid says in part: “We are now in Sabine, Texas, a wild little cow-town. The spring cattle round-up is just coming off, so everything is pretty lively here. Give all the boys my best regards.

SHE Hoosier A. C. has replied to the letter written by the Indiana-Kentucky A. A. U. and published in The Times of Tuesday, by irntu. ing the following communication: The Hoosier Athletic Club has always itood. first of all, for purely amateur athetics In every sense of the word. No perlon representing' the Hoosier Athletic Club in any sport activity has ever received five cents for it. Even our basketball coach and manager rave their services free, for the love of jport. After waiting: for an inactive local association to organize a local amateur basketball league for several years, without [ success, we assisted in organizing an unl usually successful one this year, thereby Itncurring the wrath of the local A. A. U. I The league was composed of such leadrmg industries as the Diamond Chain and | Manufacturing Company. Pennsylvania I Railroad. Fairbanks-Morse Manufacturing company, Real Silk Hosiery Mills and a team from the Y. M. C. A. During the season the H. A. C. received several voluntary letters praising the clean sportsmanship of the team. A Richmond paper in writing up a game played with a team in that city complimented the Hoosier l team along the same lines. |\ The Hoosier Athletic Club was organized Un 1878 and has always been in the fore■rround of local amateur snorts. It has Hu t and will continue to meet the .best H'hools and colleges in the Middle West Bid recognized athletic clubs in competitive B>°rts. ■ No invitation was ever extended to the Athletic Club to attend any mect- ■ trs for the purpose of talking over the Heal basketball league. This is only one jH: the many inaccuracies appearing in the official document. did ask the secretary treasurer of B| A. A. U. to find out what possibility was' of getting recognition of this basketball league. He informed us that the other officers of the local association taic that no team would be sent from Indianapolis this year, as they were going to send a team from Louisville to represent the Indiana-Kentucky Association. Referring to the statement that three men on our team were known professionals. Why, if this is so. were they issued amateur cards, signed by the chairman of registrations for the local association? These cards did not expire until Feb. 20. 1028. The league which incurred their wrath ended on Feb. 18. Furthermore, why have charges not been preferred against them? Suspension from the local A. A. U. means nothing to us. We are still strong for tfi,e national organization and the good ft has: accomplished for amateur athletics In which we are interested. We [have asked for no championship 'events [for almost two years from the local association, and have during that time had more activity in all lines of sport without their sanction than ever with it. We are not interested in the inside politics of athletics: we are interested for the sake of clean sport and developing clean athletes. We regret this controversy, but if it helps ..lean up the local condition In amateur athletics, we are glad it has come. Respectfully yours. HAROLD J.

TWO TRIBE YOUNGSTER INFIELDERS TO LEAVE FOR HOME TONIGHT

GEORGIA YOUTH IS FLIVVER Stribling Gets Razz in M. Y. —Uses Foul Tactics Against Slattery. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 26.—William L. Stribling and his Pa bemoaned their hard luck recently when Gene Tunney refused to fight for the glory of Florida and no cash. It seems, however, that Tunney did William a favor and that circumstances helped them out of a very bad spot. Stribling won a ten-round decision against the frail Jimmy Slattery and walked out with a big chunk of the $86,000 that trickled into Tex Rick ard’s Garden but he lost any right he ever had to be considered as a heavyweight championship prospect. There may be some man lurking around the corner with the punch that is going to ruin Jack Dempsey, ! but it isn’t William L. Stribling and \ certainly it isn’t James J. Slattery i Close Decision Making his first appearance over i a distance in New York, Stribling ! barely managed to squeeze through on a close decision, but he perpe- | trated fouls that such a finished master as Harry Greb in the art of rough work never thought of. When Jess Baugh, the Miami promoter, had to give up the TunneyStribling fight for the lack of $85,000 or better Tex Rickard said he would give the young men an engagement j in New York, but he put it up to j Stribling that he would have to j show himself in the previously signed bout against Slattery. Stribling had all the viciousness j of a champion in his corner before the fight and between rounds, but ! he didn’t have enough punch to j carry out the looks and the conver- j sation that he directed at Slattery. In only one round —the seventh—was Slattery in any danger, and then he was dazed by four punches that were landed after he had been wrestled between the ropes by the huskier and stronger Stribling. Stribling’s Tactics Practically in every round, Stribling heeled Slattery with his open hand, and he elbowed and thumbed the Buffalo youngster every time the referee seemed to be looking elsewhere. The crowd was against Stribling from the start and it may have been that lie was goaded into his unfair fighting tactics but the support of the crowd could not have put the resistance in Slattery to stand up under real punching. Stribling, of course, is a mere youngster just past the voting ag* but he is a veteran of more that 200 fights and fully developed. L was apparent to all who had seen him before that he hasn’t improved, and that he is just as good a fighter now as he will ever be. He is a great little business man, however, and it may lie that he cares nothing about titles as long as he can get cuts of $86,000 gates.

Comello, Hunter Make Good Showings and Bush Will Sign Them Later — Rehg, Schemanske in Line. By Eddie Ash Times Sports Editor lIOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 2li.—Eddie Hunter, third baseman, and Joe Comello, shortstop, youthful rookies from the Cincinnati sandlots who have been working out with tlie Indians at Hot Springs training camp, have decided to postpone their start in league baseball and they will depart for home tonight.

The lads desire to finish their trades as they have only about three more months to serve as apprentices as cutters in t lie tailoring craft. -They regret to leave the Indians, but they are going home at the urgent request of their parents and with the approval of Manager Bush. Both being under age, they did not sign contracts. The Tribe boss figures it is best for the boys to protect themselves in a business way other than baseball, since they have only a short time to serve out apprenticeships. They made a solid hit with Bush as ball players, and he lias gained their promise to sign with Indianapolis later, probably the middle of the summer. Wants Them Later He is very eager to carry them for developing purposes. Comello lias net been in the best of health recently, and both lads are more or less homesick. They came to Hot Springs to get Bush's opinion of their caliber, and are leaving with hearts aglow over treatment received and with confidence bolstered by the Tribe pilot's encouraging words as to their future in baseball. Shortly after joining the Indians Thursday, Valter Holke. first baseman bought from the Cincy Reds, signed a Tribe contract. Walter Helig, outfielder, also attached his name to 1026 papers. Lloyd Chrtetenbury, outfielder, who was sent to the Buffalo Internationals, again is the property of the Indians. There is no place for him, however, and he probably will he turned over to a Texas league team. Pitcher Fred Schemanske, righthander. who performed with the Indians last year, wired acceptance of terms late Thursday night and advised Manager Bush he would depart for camp at once. He has been holding out. Schemanske lives in Detroit, where he is a crack bowler, and it is possible he has been stalling fn order to have time to compete in the national pin tournament at Toledo. Last of Holdouts The bulky hurler is the last of the official holdouts to fall in line. Bob Steele, pitcher, has not signed, but he is a reinstated contract jumper and the Indians are not figuring on him. When Schemanske arrives the pitching staff in camp will consist of twelve, as follows: Bin-well, Hill, Niles, Henry, Thompson, Weaver, Schemanske, Lynch, Reynolds, Hutton, Ray and MeNabb. The southpaws are Henry, Thompson, Lynch and Ray, The last named lias been absent from camp recently on account of illness in his family, but was due back today. The lame-arm boys among the Tribe infielders made no complaint Thursday, when the Little Rock struggle was called off, because of wet grounds, ns was also practice for the day. Secretly they were happy, but Manager Bush was the opposite. This training trip is costing too heavy to lose even one day’s work, and it was the second time his p.astimers were held idle. Actual competition in exhibition games is_ the crying need of the Indians as they go through the training paces down here in the foot hiils of the Ozarks. The Tribesmen have had the benefit of only one spring struggle, which they won, 5 to 3, from Little Rock. Two other contests with Little Rock were rained out, one last Sunday and another, Thursday. Need Exhibitions Lack of exhibition contests prevents the club bosses frpm getting a true line on the talon?/ And efforts ■ to correct this will be made at once. Manager Bush can do nothing more than divide his squad for scrub coni tests. And Little Rock may be

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

booked next week for exhibitions over there The owner of the Milwaukee team has gone back on winter promises to loan Indianapolis his park here, and this condition has placed the Indians at a disadvantage for booking games in Hot Springs. The Milwaukee plant is the onlj one here with fence and grand stand, but the Brewers have refused to let the Indians use it, even when (he Lelivelt even Is out of town. Just at present the Tribesmen have only two more exhibition games scheduled, which will be at Oklahoma City, April 10 and 11. It seems the Indians contracted for Hot Springs as a training camp too late to arrange a suitable and proper exhibition program.
